At ii recent meeting of the French academy
of medicine, u. Brouartlel made known
some curious and interesting facts concerning
he dead body of girl - years old, which
was discovered in cellar under a heap of
straw. The body had lain there about
year. and was i'll Il perfect state of nlummi
faction. Putrefaction had never set in One
of the limbs were shown at the meeting
1t was thoroughly dry, the tissues were
hardened, and, when struck, sonorous. NM
Brouardel and Audouard attributed this
naturalization TO the dryness of the soil
on which the dead body had been placed; but
the more important factors We're five differ
ent species of mites, which deposited the
debris of toe envelopes of their eggs and hard
parts among the dust that covered the dried
tissues of the body Now NJ Megnu proved
that, by studying the generations of mites
which have been at work on a dead body, the
date of death-often most important point
in Suspicious caSes-can be ascertained. This
entomologist, by examining the debris of
mites in chlld's corpse, ascertained that
death occurred two years previously. A
judicial inquiry confirmed this statement
NJ Brouardel described the order of success.
sion of different species of mites which worked
on the dead body of the young girl, also the
work of destruction accomplished by each
separate species. One species absorbs the
fluids, another consumes the fatty acids.
When species has finished its work it dies on
the dead body or is devoured by a succeeding
species, which in its turn sets to work. Each
generation in summer lives from six weeks to
two months. In recent French murder, NJ
Megnin established with precision the exact
date of the burial of the human remains dis
covered in the garden. Among the remains
particular kind of ant was observed, which
is never found in soil recently disturbed -

Nothing can be more unreasonable than
continuous seasickness. The absolute
remedies are so many, the many voiced
witnesses are so grave that any one who
persists in being sick after the third day
is simply obdurate, and l above all men.
Capt Knight was something of doctor
and he could bring round in day or two
by water cure treatment He succeeded
on the first day that l put my feet on
shore! Remedies:
Go on board with full stomach of plain
but nourishing food; do not have any
thing on your stomach when you embark
Keep on deck Do not go out of your
stateroom but lie quietly on your back.
Take champagne or claret or brandy or
whisky or cruel or oat meal porridge or
bits of salt Goldfish scorched upon living
Goals
Then have an iceberg along your spine;
a light belt shonld be worn below the
waist; use homeopathic remedies freely, it
makes little difference of what kind; blue
pills aud Congress water are as good as
anything.
But the best of all things is to kick the
doctor out of your state room, lie still in
your berth and wait for land This is a
sure curel
There are many alleviations of this con-
dition-the smell of bilge water, If on
ship; of grease, if on a steamer; the
smell of dinner, If your stateroOm opens
on the dining saloon the rattle of the
knives and the jolly roar of merry men at
their abhorrent meals. For variety a
friend will visit you and narrates his ex-
psrience and recommends new torments,

The waters of ''Oswald's Well' still
flow freely at the foot of a woody bank in
a field on the outskirts of Owestry, next
to that now used in the grammar school
playground. In the year 1842 local an
tiquary, the late Mr.. F. NJ Doyaston,
wrote that "the feeble and infirm still be-
lieve and battle in the well, and did more
so until it was inclosed in the noisy school
playground. Bottles of water are carried
to wash the eyes of those who are dim or
short sighted or the tardy or erring legs
of such as are of weak understandings.
Nowadays it seems chiefly to be used as
wishing well and many ara the cere
monies prescribed for attaining the hearts
desire thereby One rite is to go to the
well at midnight to take some of the
water up in the hand and drink part of it,
at the same time forming the wish in the
mind. Tie rest of the water in the hand
must then be thrown upon particular
stone at the back of the WELL where the
schoolboys think that King Oswald g head
was buried and where formerly carved
head wearing crown projected from the
wall. If the votary can succeed in throw
ing all the water left in his hand upon this
stone without touching any other spot his
wish will be fulfilled.

wish of course must be divulged to no one
